This is a wonderfully cumin flavored rice that enhances the flavor of many a dull meal!! Some variations to this recipe that are delicious: after adding the cumin seeds add onion, ginger, whole black peppercorn, cloves, or a cinnamon stick. You could also add all of the above options to make a rice chock-full of tastes!

Time 20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ teaspoon cumin seeds
1 cup dry jasmine rice
1 ¾ cups water
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium size saucepan over a medium-high heat. Drop in the cumin seeds, and cook until they splutter. Do not allow the cumin seeds to burn or become really dark brown in color. Add the rice and fry it in the oil for about 1 minute.
  • Add the water and salt and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Cook the rice for approximately 15 minutes. If you feel the rice is getting burnt near the base of the pan as it cooks, one trick is to place the saucepan on another flat pan or griddle which is directly on the flame. Toss with a fork.

CUMIN!! RICE



Cumin!! Rice image

Heavy on the cumin so you're warned well in advance. For added depth I dry roast the cumin powder. For really pronounced flavor, use cumin seeds, but I leave that up to you to decide. Quite delicious with just about any type of fish!

Provided by COOKGIRl

Categories     Rice

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 1/3 cups arborio rice (can sub Valencia with adjustments)
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin powder or 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds, dry roasted
salt, to taste
lemon wedge

Steps:

  • In a teapot bring 3 cups of water to the boil.
  • In a large saute pan, over medium heat dry roast the cumin powder first for 1 1/2 minutes then add the olive oil and rice; cooking for about 4-5 minutes until the rice is coated with the oil and cumin and glistens. (If using whole cumin seeds, dry roast, tranfer to coffee mill, pulverize then add back to pan.).
  • Add enough boiling water to cover the rice by 1 1/2 inches. Add the salt. Reduce heat to low and cook the rice uncovered until you see small "craters" on the surface and water has evaporated. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
